Book description
For this new edition of The Writer's Tale, Russell T Davies
and Benjamin Cook expand their in-depth discussion of the creative
life of Doctor Who to cover Russell's final year as Head Writer and
Executive Producer of the show, as well as his work behind the
increasingly successful Torchwood and The Sarah Jane
Adventures spin-offs. Candid and witty insights abound throughout
two years' worth of correspondence, covering David Tennant's last
episodes as the Doctor and the legacy that Russell and David leave
behind as a new era of Doctor Who begins.
With over 300 pages of new material, and taking in events from the
entire five years since the show's return in 2005, The Writer's
Tale: The Final Chapter is the most comprehensive - and personal
- account of Doctor Who ever published.
